T-Mobile update notification not going away, but i'm rooted + custom ROM

I just rooted and flashed beast mod on my gs2. An hour after using it, T-mobile popped up in my notification tray with a new update. I'm assuming this is 2.3.6 and eventually the dev's will develop or update their roms.
I just want to make sure that I shouldn't update my phone this way, or I will be bricked?

i dont think it will brick you, but it will unroot you.

[Q] got prompted for OTA Update but i'm rooted / custom ROM?
I have a rooted sII and i just received a software update for my phone. do you know if i install the update will that affect anything?

I lost my root installing the update. looking to re root now.. It alos reinstalled all the Tmo bloat ware again.

Same Problem Here...
Hi-
I rooted my phone a month ago. I have had no problems except that when I try to download T-Mobile's software update, I get stuck in Clockwork recovery. I don't know what to do next.
Please help!
Thx!

Upgrade

Juggernaut v3.7 and Tmobile software update????
I am using Juggernaut v3.7 ROM, and my phone recently constantly show Message about upgrade the software from Tmobile. What should I do next? Flash stock rom 2.3.6 to get rid of Tmobile upgrade? and then can I flash Juggernaut v3.7 back to my phone?
Is there any way to disable (inside the code or build.prop file) the upgarde notification?

i have the same question

T-Mobile update service
Can I do the T-Mobile update while rooted on a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

This is going to be a hot item for most of us with rooted phones. Simply no way of knowing what will happen should we let the update go through. And just to be safe, most of us would prefer to cancel the update.
I followed someone else's advice and used Titanium Backup Pro to:
- wipe data for "Device Manager"
- "freeze" the same application
The nag is gone. I reckon this method should work for everyone with rooted phones.
Otherwise, we'd need to wait to respective ROM teams to release their own patches etc.
TB team should see a nice uptick in app purchases in next few days. The app is well worth it, so if you been on a fence, get it now, $6 well spent.

[Q]OTA Update but i'm rooted?
I just got the ota update. It says it's going to automatically update my phone in 24 hrs. Is this going to mess my phone up? I am currently rooted with. Bombradier rom. Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989

i am rooted with stock rom and receive the update, np at all. In your case, you have a different rom and not stock. odin probably is the best bet.

bought sgs2 last weekend and rooted using superoneclick and at the end of the day, receive ota update and update my sgs2 and i forgot that i am rooted. i left my phone to finish updating and when i came back, its up and have 2.3.6 uVKL1, did not receive any problem. battery great, wifi calling is there. im just surprised it let me update even though my phone is rooted. btw stock rom, stock kernel just rooted.

I think I'll just wait until somebody comes out with an official sticky solution because I didn't flash any ROM to mine, I just rooted it.... I don't know what to do either... Until someone posts a solution there will be several posts pertaining to this subject

Chameleon Error

Hello to all - does anyone know what the Chameleon has FC error means. I did try to flash the LK8 and I know that may cause it. However I did just unroot and I am still getting the error? Any ideas?

See the update lk8 update Zip thread. Another member who I can't remember at the moment figured it out. The fix is to odin ljc using a tar or the stock restore exe. Then redo the lk8 update.zip and the chameleon error goes away.

I have it don't fix it. It's some left over code if you flashed an LK8 rom and went back to an LJC. I have run throught every format option in TWRP and used Odin to flash a factory stock image. No one seems to know where it's coming from!

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
I'll quote myself from another post (written in a slight daze late last night:

(history: I was rooted stock w/ twrp from the mskip toolkit method of rooting, got rid of twrp using the mrRobinson stock w/ root, and flashed the sxtp update to lk8, got a wifi failbug and tried to get back to stock rooted using mrRobinson and started getting this issue. lol. ok. so... one-clicked your rooted full restore, still there. is that even possible?)
well, my phone seems to work, as long as I don't reboot.

And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a BU from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I feel exactly how you do. The phone works but the errors are bothering me.

I suppose that it's worth noting that I get no errors whatsoever on flashing, OneClicks, or Odins. Although, on stock recovery (I think?) I seem to remember seeing the Android on its back w/ a red triangle?
Confounded. :banghead:
Ive never had to do a logcat, but willing to do whatever it takes on the direction from a Dev or one of our esteemed Contributors, if it will help solve my (and obviously several others) issue.

I've try every method but no luck. What in the god's name went wrong.

Sprint is apparently replacing these for this error. If you go into the store and have them look at it. I've been told that Sprint is replacing these devices as there is no fix until the OTA is released. That's just what I heard.
I would definitely be back to stock before paying then a visit.

Thanks! not exactly the answer I was hoping for, but an option. I am at least able to get back to stock w/ 0 flash counter, so I feel safe that they can't tell me it's *wink* my fault *wink*.

Do you have the download link for the ALJ1? I'm gonna try that to see if it work.

I went back to lj1 and let it update to ljc. Errors stuck around. Only way I've avoid the errors is by leaving phone with lk8 which lucky for me works perfectly.
I did try the store replacement thing but they wanted to give me a refurbished phone as replacement. I am going to wait for an update and cross fingers it works without error.

[Q] Anybody successfully updated to JB 4.1 through KIES?

I just tried to update my ICS Galaxy S2 to JB 4.1 through Samsung Kies, and the update process took a dump on me and I spent the better part of the last two hours getting the phone up and running again. The phone is rooted, and the recovery installed is Clockworkmod touch. My battery was right at about 51% when I started, so it may have had something to do with it im not sure. Anybody successfully updated? If so can you please share your story? Thanks.

No problems for me, but I returned everything to stock first. Stock recovery included. Might've been your issue
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

I had no problem updating a few days ago. Was running stock rooted ICS with CWM non-touch recovery. It took close to 2 1/2 hours including updating Kies, but it worked fine. My battery was probably closer to 85% (and I have a big aftermarket battery).

I did a few days back also. No problems when I ran it for the day.

Officially, I think the battery should be at 80% for Kies to let you update, but that is not important now.
My first attempt bricked the phone, I tried taking it to a third PC for the emergency recovery and it did not work on that PC at all.
I got a replacement phone instead of trying again, but on the 3rd and final PC it worked fine.
The first 2 PCs had windows XP while the final was W7, I don't think windows was the issue, but on the first 2 I did sometimes have issues detecting the phone, so I unplugged and plugged it back in a few times for it to connect. I think that was the key to the problem.
On the final machine it connected fine first time and every time. I still don't know why this happened. I have 2 more phones to update and am wondering if I should try the first 2 machines again or play it safe and use the one that worked?
Good luck.

You will lose root, but it's very easy to re-root. I rooted four T989s in about ten minutes.

Using kies, went to update my wife's phone the other day with it having like 20% battery and it gave me an error message before starting saying my battery was to low. When it came to my rooted phone I used Odin and lost root. It was pretty easy for me to root it back and start installing custom ROMs.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Just did it today and it worked fine. Had to reinstall a newer version of Java for Kies to upgrade itself properly, but once I did that it was smooth sailing.

Hi all,
now please don't laugh: what exactly is the advantage of getting JB over ICS?
thanks.

I managed to soft brick my phone on the first attempt to use kies. Fortunately, the phone was sick on Odin download mode. I used Odin too flash a new ics image and the second time, the kies to 4.1.2 worked just fine. My original OS version was ics from the tm ota update on a new phone.

There are a bunch of improvements, they took out a lot of bloatware and fixed a bunch of glitches so JB is a lot faster and smoother than ICS. Also they brought back some features that were taken out of ICS like a Contacts button in the phone (I never understood why they took it out in the 1st place)...

I was on a rooted Stock ICS and I used Kies for the update. It was successful, but of course I lost root. Since then the phone has been faster, smoother and has better battery life. I still have not manged to re-root using either CWM nor TWRP, even after re-flashing the stock JB via ODIN, (I am still working on this).

think again.

Just to be safe you should always odin back to the last stock rom before doing an update through kies. You dont have to but I get nothing but pasper weights if I dont. I never had a problem with kies with a completly stock phone though. And I think thje batt is 80% but I always charge it to 100% just in case.

Its a issue with a lot of Roms right now, try rebooting a few times, or boot to recovery and then reboot, if that doesn't work clean install again, boot/setup phone, make data only backup, erase data only and restore the data only backup, fixed it for me on a few Roms

Which stock ROM there's a couple, I know one that was posted up here that had a few issues, wouldn't let me update anything, kept force closing, and got stuck at splash screen, had to flash diff kernel to boot it, if u want a stock ROM I have a pretty stable deodexed and rooted one I dumped and made flashable, its because the official firmware from Sammy is flawed, so hopefully next update...

Yeah its just the firnware fron sammy, its flawed at its base somewhere n they havent released any fix or anything, try rebooting to revovery and rebooting system from there, then make a data only backup an when and if u get stuck wipe data and restore the backup, fixed it for me, other than that u could try asop, seems to happen less in those roms
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

So I decided to retry v6 and ultimatic again after a while, and I've narrowed it down to getting stuck at the splash screen whenever doing a super clean and restart or engine flush. Any ideas? It'll boot back up if I backup then restore a nandroid, but there has to be some way around this.

i goofed up

hey guys, I don't really know much about rooting and all that stuff. i rooted it once out of curiousity but quickly went back to the stock firmware and reset the counter. months later (now) I recently started getting all these sim card errors I figured i installed the firmware wrong or something so i tried to redownload the stock firmware and upgrade from there
I launched odin 1.85 installed OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3 into the phone, ( it passed) and then i installed ROOT_M919UVUAMDL after it rebooted i started getting this
"kernel is not se android enforcing
set warranty bit: kernel"
I can still access cwm touch req0very v1.0.3.3 but I dont know where to go from here, i just want my phone back

Are you still getting sim card errors?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

lol well it wont go past the galaxy s screen. it stuck there and it gives me the error, also i believe its because the stock rom i got was android 4.2 but it was running 4.3. i dont even care what os runs as long as i get my phone running. i tried going through all the posts in the other threads but I dont understand some of the procedures to get them running. cyanogen mod looks nice and simple

I got it to boot up with a nexus rom, its really different from touch wiz it still gave me the kernel error when i booted it but it ran fine afterwards, i was also checking out the rom and it said that I only have 1.2 gb of ram when ireally have 2 gb. slowly but surely i'm starting to dig this changing of the roms, haha. can anyone hook it up with a link the latest firmware of stock touchwiz? i kinda want to get it running good by the weekend. thanks in advance

There's nothing wrong with the message at boot up, you tripped the Knox counter so that's why you get that message.. You can just flash a stock ROM if you want to go back to touchwiz
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

well, it looks like i'm still getting the sim error message, could it be because its running 4.3 still? how do i get it back to stock and reset the counter so that i can exchange it at tmobile?

It's because you tripped the Knox bootloader. I usually just flash the stock ROM that came with the phone when exchanging.
